Reminder that this requires all vehicles be SOLD with the tech. It says nothing about what happens to it after purchase.

  • It'll be like every other car with driver assistance and every other advanced feature now, everything gets strapped to the same CANbus and unified powerttrain control module so disabling one part of the system causes the car to get stuck in limp mode, have constant nusiance alerts, and fail state inspections to get registered.

  • Just pull the fuse for the onstar radio. It can log all it wants locally.

    I'm trying to figure out of this is just the distracted driving safety feature that's been on every car I've bought in the last 6 years. If so it can be disabled and really isn't that big of a deal when it's enabled. Just sends you an alert when it detects you weaving within the lane a little too much. I can't help but think this article might be a little sensationalistic.

    Removing "safety features" from a car is illegal, btw
